Title: Any easy Altcoin SHA 256 Coin for Mining?
Post by: worldinacoin on June 08, 2013, 01:45:27 PM
I just want to have the pleasure of mining and seeing some coins.  Wonder which is the easiest to mine SHA-256 at the moment?  Not looking for profit, just want to have some fun since Bitcoin is far beyond reach in terms of difficulty now.

The Top 4 Sha-256 Alt-coins:

PPC
Terracoin
Freicoin
Bytecoin


Roughly in order of highest to lowest in terms of difficulty.  :)

Can't even download and sync the block chains for Bytecoin, any nodes to add?

Don't go with bytecoin, I think they were having big difficulty problems and such lately.

If you just want to see coins, Freicoin pays out a lot of coins.

I don't know what your hashrate is, but I think you should be in double digits per day on a pool...

Although it's been a while since I mined any FRC.

I mine TRC at p2pool.org with some extra cycles I have on an iMac (definitely no screamer!) and get a steady 'income' from it. PPC may have better profitability but it takes over 500 confirms to collect! That can be a couple of days even in a fast pool!  Not many options after that.

You could just switch your bitcoin client to show satoshis instead of BTC :)
